thanks for that. I went to town yesterday to buy a book but couldn't find one anywhere. I live in England, every book shop I went in I asked for 'a book to teach my baby to read'   and i was given the most stupid looks! Think they thought I was crazy then they proceeded to tell me ''well just keep reading books to him so he will get an interest in it.'' - thanks for that! not! haha

Hi everyone!

Thanks for all your replies! Guess I will be off to town then to buy a book! Haha it gives me an excuse to spend! I can't wait I'm so excited!

Hi

I'm new to this and didn't even know this was possible to a few days ago.

I started showing my son the words 'Mummy' and 'Daddy' yesterday and plan to get some flash cards soon.

I am doing the flash method, I have been quickly showing and telling him the words. I would like to know.

How do I know if he's taking it in?
How many cards should I show him at a time ( he's 5months old)?
When should I introduce new cards?
Do I still show him the first set of cards when a new set is introduced?

Is there any other way I can teach him other than quickly showing him cards? I know there are a few different methods, which one did you find most succesful?

Thank you in advance
